Welcome to the Maddox Intermediate School Library. My name is Julia Lightsey and I am the Library Media Specialist at Maddox Intermediate School. I have been teaching for 14 years. I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and my Master's in Library and Media from Auburn University.
The MIS Library serves students, teachers, and families of Maddox Intermediate School. The MIS Library provides a well-balanced, diverse collection to best support our student body. Our library program strives to provide literature promotion, library and information literacy skills, and STEM activities through a set schedule of classes as well as flexible use opportunities.
My goals as librarian are to:
-Provide students with an environment that fosters growth and exploration.
-Empower students with the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century.
-Provide access to a well-balance collection reflective of the needs of our school population
- Encourage reading for information and enjoyment.
Maddox Intermediate students may check out two books at a time. There are no overdue fines, but students with an overdue book will not be allowed to check out new books until a form is signed by their parents agreeing to pay for the book if it is not returned by the end of the school year.
The fee for a lost or damaged book is $20 to cover the library-bound replacement.
